As many of you know I built a Martini / Mauser using a Gahendra Martini Henry parts rifle and a barrel off of a 43 Mauser.
So here is the first good range report.
First I built a rear sight , copying one that Buckshot has one one of his rifles. It was good to excellant out to 400 yards and then I ran out of elevation.
Some of the BP match shooters at the range I go to gave me a couple of Pederisoli sights and I remanufactored the base and mounted it on the rifle.
Today I sighted it in from 100 to 600 yards and have 1/2 or more of the sight left so I think I will be able to go farther than the range has to offer.
Accuracy was excellent and the gentleman who kindly spotted for me was a great held.I must have done something right as I had a couple of the BP match shooters come down to see just what I was shooting.
One accused me of buying a Sharps and not saying anything to them
All in all the old girl performed great and I am greatly pleased with her accuracy and decor.
I think I should stop while I am ahead but I am going to see just how far shee will go.
Need to get a heavier boolit to go much further tho
